First Time Poster


Recommended Posts

Hi Spyders, sorry to hear about what happened to you. You are so right writing that first  post is so hard but one of the  braves thing you have done. Take one step at a time and know you are not alone.

I hear you Spyder, it is very  scary to let that wall to come down for even a minute , if it helps at all we have all felt that way. It is important for you to know you are not alone and we understand what you are going through, I am happy that you took this first big step.

Honestly it's really disorienting. I've been talking about this for years with my wife, and yet, when I read about people's experiences here, a part of me has trouble comprehending that it's not just me, that it's not just in my head, that it really is real....

That scares the holy hell out of me.

Hi Spyder,

Welcome to AS. I am very sorry about your trauma, but you have found a very supportive site. The members are truly understanding and kind. Reaching out is never easy, but it's a huge step to take. It does get easier, as we are all in this together...we are not alone. For me, that truly was a turning point. Knowing that I wasn't alone. And neither are you. I wish you well on your healing journey.

Hello SW. Welcome to AS! It is my wish that you find this site as helpful and healing as I have in my healing journey. 

I am part of the NST (Newbie Support Team). What that means is that I (or any of the mods/admins/NST) can help/direct you as you learn how to use the forums. Should you have questions, feel free to send a PM to any one of the AS staff. 

You've taken a huge step in reaching out. This is a big step in healing from abuse of any kind. Take all the time you need in sharing. 

Know that you are not alone. 

Am listening and validating you and your experiences.
